Movie Info
Inspired by Pink Floyd's album of the same name, Pink Floyd: The Wall is a dark, expressionistic musical, told from the point of view of Pink, a depressed rock musician. The film is structured around Pink's reflections on his life, all of which center on the building of "the wall." This wall is a metaphor for psychological isolation, a barrier Pink creates to distance himself from his pain. The foundations for this wall are lain in childhood, with the death of Pink's father leaving him to be

Nothing is put together for you, but all the pieces of the puzzle are there for you to create what you want. It's refreshing to see a movie that is completely out of the box, and doesn't follow any present forumla. THE WALL is a great rock opera.
Visually stunning and disturbing, an essential midnight movie.
A stunning portrayal of a slide from isolation into madness. And the music rocks, too--bonus.
One of Alan Parker's few truly bad movies.
Visually stunning yet strangely forced tale.
dated and self-aggrandizing but a watershed
Good music. Sick imagery.
A midnight movie classic!
